little slake,
Thou then shalt see him presently awake.
_Som_. Hast thou ought else that I may stand in sted?
_Iris_. No, _Somnus_, no; go back unto thy bed;
_Iuno_, she shall reward thee for thy paine.
_Som_. Then good night, _Iris_; Ile to rest againe.
_Iris_. _Morpheus_, farewell; to _Iuno_ I will flie.
_Mor_. And I to sleepe as fast as I can hie.
[_Exeunt_.
_Ascanio starting sayes_.
_Eurymine_! Ah, my good Angell, stay!
O vanish not so suddenly away;
O stay, my Goddess; whither doest thou flie?
Returne, my sweet _Eurymine_, tis I.
Where art thou? speake; Let me behold thy face.
Did I not see thee in this very place,
Euen now? Here did I not see thee stand?
And heere thy feete did blesse the happie land?
_Eurymine_, Oh wilt thou not attend?
Flie from thy foe, _Ascanio_ is thy friend:
The fearfull hare so shuns the labouring hound,
And so the Dear eschues the Huntsman wound;
The trembling Foule so flies the Falcons gripe,
The Bond-man so his angry maisters stripe.
I follow not as _Phoebus Daphne_ did,
Nor as the Dog pursues the trembling Kid.
Thy shape it was; alas, I saw not thee!
That sight were fitter for the Gods then mee.
But, if in dreames there any truth be found,
Thou art within the compas of this ground.
Ile raunge the woods and all the groues about,
And neuer rest vntill I find thee out. [_Exit_.
_Enter at one doore Mopso singing_.
_Mop_. Terlitelo,[110] Terlitelo, tertitelee, terlo.
So merrily this sheapheards Boy
His home that he can blow,
Early in a morning, late, late in an euening;
And euer sat this little Boy
So merrily piping.
_Enter at the other doore Frisco singing_.
_Fris_. Can you blow the little home?
Weell, weell and very weell;
And can you blow the little home
Amongst the leaues greene?
_Enter Ioculo in the midst singing_.
_Io_. Fortune,[111] my foe, why doest thou frowne on mee?
And will my fortune neuer better bee?
Wilt thou, I say, for euer breed my paine,
And wilt thou not restore my Ioyes againe?
_Frisco_. Cannot a man be merry in his owne walke
But a must be thus encombred?
_Io_. I am disposed to be melancholly,
And I cannot be priuate for one villaine or other.
_Mop_. How the deuel stumbled this case of rope-ripes[112] into my way?
_Fris_. Sirrha what art thou? and thou?
_Io_. I am a pag
